The California NGV Partnership will:

1. Promote research, development, demonstration, and deployment and commercialization efforts in the advancement of natural gas engine and fueling technology.

2. Increase awareness and urge the active participation among local, state, and federal policymakers regarding the use of NGVs and natural gas as a low-emission fuel, and promotion of future advancement in vehicle & fueling technologies to further reduce emissions.

3. Promote availability of financial and non-financial incentives and technical assistance for deployment of natural gas vehicles and infrastructure.

4. Encourage the purchase of dedicated NGVs by conducting public outreach for local, state, and federal purchasing programs.

5. Establish as its goal the deployment of specific numbers and types of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty natural gas vehicles and infrastructure during the next three, five and ten years.
   

With the rising cost of petroleum-based gasoline and diesel fuel, tougher emission standards and the growing public demand for better environmental policies, natural gas vehicles provide an attractive alternative with
a multitude of key advantages.
